lyrics

Playing cards and old cigars
Road maps tickets and mason jar
In the gutter now
Water rushes past with no regard
Like don’t care
That it’s come this far
From the reservoir
Street lamps paint
The city blue
Humming like crickets
Down the avenue
It’s ghostly still
A taxi cab goes screaming by
Wherever it’s going it’s
Getting there fast
Another mystery

When the night
Is still
Let it happen
What it will
Find a nice spot
Climb it up to the top
A place to watch the world
Rushing by

Boots all caked with mud and grime
One man’s trash is another man’s find
They were waiting here
Leaves all curl as the seasons turn
Chimney’s pump smoke
As the wood stoves burn
I’m close to home
Out of the dark steps a small black cat
I wonder how he can live like that
On the streets alone
Our shoes hit the pavement
And they fall in time
I look on my arm and I’m glad that she’s mine
She was put in my path
